SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is a technology that encrypts information exchanged over the Internet to prevent sniffing, card falsification, and identity theft by a third party. An "SSL server certificate" is a digital certificate for SSL that acts as proof of trust that the user’s information will be protected.

Commonly used SSL server certificates

The main SSL server certificates introduced on e-commerce sites are the “EV” and “OV” types.

EV type

Allows you to prevent sniffing, falsification, and identity theft of personal data and card information by third parties.

  • Reduces the cost of anti-phishing measures

    Since it is difficult for criminals to obtain EV certificates, it acts as an inexpensive and powerful anti-phishing measure.

  • Promotes purchases

    The name of merchants will be displayed in green in the address bar, reducing users’ anxiety and encouraging them to take action with their purchases.

  • Unified industry standard that makes safety visible

    EV certificates are issued based on unified industry standards that make safety visible, so they are expected to become standard for online shops in the future.

[Important Notice] For merchants that have already introduced SSL server certificates

Are you ready to migrate your signing algorithm from SHA-1 to SHA-2?

A decryption method for SSL server certificates that use the SHA-1 signing algorithm ("SHA-1 certificates") has been discovered, and the certificate authorities have begun issues SHA-2 SSL server certificates. Microsoft further announced they would block communications for SHA-1 certificates starting from January 1, 2017, and has requested that the certificate authorities stop issuing certificate signed with SHA-1 by January 1, 2016.

We also offer SHA-2 compatible server certificates at a reasonable price for merchants already using SSL server certificates.
We hope you will take this opportunity to apply.
